Changing computer - Steam games

[Arsenault 1st MRB]

Hi guys,

I didn't really know where to post this but I was wondering something :

I'll probably have to change computer in a month and a half and I was wondering if my steam-downloaded games (including DoD:S) would still be available for download on my new comp without having to pay again for them.

Any idea or past experience with that?

Thanks and have a nice day folks!

If you bought/activated a game through Steam, you should be able to just download everything again without paying for it (unless there is DRM for the game). However, I would suggest to backup your game files to an external HDD so that when you do switch to a new computer, all you have to do is copy-paste the files to the steamapps (or your specific account's) folder and then "download" the game. It'll start the download, but you should see your bandwidth drop to zero while the actual download progress increases.

It might take a while depending on how many games and how much data there is, but it'll save your bandwidth and some time from downloading everything again.
